Print specific data on printer?

[Amit Prakash Pawar]

Hi,

I want to print the specific data from page instead of Full page data.

So i can't use window.print method.

I take my data in $data variable.

i want to print only this data.

any other method for print selected data??(not full page)

You could if you're using a printer attached to the server. But not if
the printer is attached to the client. You would need client-side
scripting, and PHP is server-side.

Way I solved this was to generate a downloadable PDF and print that at
the server end directly, or send it by e-mail, or set it up for client
downloading.

That's all within PHP and the server side.

Haven't looked at javascript yet.

I'd try CSS. You can specify different stylesheets for different media
(screen vs printer), so you can hide stuff when printing.

javascript plus clever handling of CSS attributes would work. I'd let PHP
out of the equation for this problem.

Best thing to do is use CSS:

<div id="nav">
<ul><li>...</li></ul>
</div>
<div class="noprint">This is only for screen</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>

In the stylesheet:
@media print {
#nav, #footer, .noprint {display:none;}
}
